Moon
In light you slumber hidden, secure
Away from sight, but never absent
Your influence on land and shore
Patiently waiting your time, content
At twilight seen to rise, awaken
To chase your love, your desire
She runs from you yet your still taken
By her light, her warmth, her fire
Elusively you search the skies
But cannot find her there
She teases shining on your face, your eyes
You’ll keep pursuing fully aware
O moon, infatuated, you love her dearly
Love’s only chance to catch its mate
Just on occasion will you touch her nearly
Forever longing, suffering your fate, oh moon, how desperate the sadness
Your lover, sun, elusive evermore
Your eclipsing love, all fleeting moments
Though bound, in a marriage, you endure
Knowing her, your Sun, yet never to catch her
Your light, your sun, your love, keeps running
Always to be apart as two, not one
You beam in darkness, and she in light,
yet both equally stunning
